Three is not the magic number

My husband and I were having a silly discussion in the car about how many kids we should have:

Me: "I think I only have one in me. I'm an old lady - one might be my limit."Him: "Two is a good number. We already know that three is too many. I have seen three in action, and three is too many!"Me: "Yes, three is definitely too many."Him: "It's just like with the cats. When you have more than two, you can't spread the love around. There isn't enough love, and then you end up loving the retarded cat the most. We need to give them all the same amount of love. We have too many cats!"Me: "Are you insane? What does that have to do with children? I am totally blogging this!"

Those are great cat names. My husband prefers the basic naming conventions for animals (hence, one of our cats is simply named HIM), but I really enjoy it when they have long and impossibly proper monikers.

I've been trying to convince my husband that we need a third cat. I keep telling him I have enough love in my heart for three cats. Much like your husband, he's not convinced. I'm with you. I definitely think one child may be all I can take though.
